stra withered in the second half of a game played on our home court, and as on the short end of a 59-46 score. The tale of woe on the 19—10 loss to St. John ' s is simly that tlie Kelly Green had one of its infrequent bad nights. The game was SiJ Skronskl very closely played, and it was not until the end that the Redmen gamed a safe advan- tage. However, the Jaspers returned to their winning ways, and gained their first Subway Conference ictory by beatmg St. Francis, 48-41, Mike Joyce led the way with fifteen points. The preliminary to another sad feature was played at Staten Island, where the five loafed its way to a 59-49 verdict over Wag- ner, Kelly showering in twenty-two. The fi- nal outing at Madison Square Garden brought our fi e up against the uncanny Vio- Hatik Pijpl e lets of New York University, and these lads, w ho couldn ' t miss on this particular evening, owned the larger share of a 73-58 score. The remainder of the season is pleasant to relate. Pratt was a 90-44 victim on our home court, and our perennial rivals, the Rams of Fordham tasted defeat to the tune of 63-56. Mike Joyce made his debut in the starting line-up, and rewarded Norton ' s con- fidence in him by dunking twenty-three points. A trip to New Rochelle brought a 67-51 decision oxer lona, Brooklyn College fell, 80-69, at the Alumni Gym as Poppe recorded twenty-five, and the regular season ended in Buffalo with a 35-31 victory over St. Bona- venture. 233
